Necd Statement: Currently 33 boat ramp lanes serve boaters countywide. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department maintains twenty-one of these lanes in ten locations; City or State government provides seven lanes in three locations; and eight are privately oVv'ncd at six locations and open to the public. Twenty four thousand fow hWldred and fifty eight (24, 458) vessels '.vere registered in Collier County in 2007 based on information collected from the Collier County Tax Collectors office. Of these registered vessels, 15.255 are dependent on boat ramps for water access. At an average of20 launches per vessel per year, countywide facilities must be able to accommodate 305,100 launches per year (15,255 vessels @ 20 launches per year). Spread acrooss the 33 boat ramp lanes available each lane will average 9,245 lalU1ches per year or 25 lane-launches per day. This figure is in accordance with the recommendation of the Florida Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide of 2000. which suggests that a single boat ramp lane can accommodate 36 launches per day. These calculations however. do not provide for a peak (weekends and holidays) carry capa.city of 46 lalUlches per ramp per day. The enhancement of the parking lot and the boat ramp lanes is critical to accommodate. in a safe manner, average and peak ramp use by an ever increasing boating public. -. -. IV - PERMITS a.
